Chile: Chupacabras Attacks Las Cruces

Translation (C) 2002 Scott Corrales

The animals presented perforations near the neck and extensive
featherless areas.

"Damn you, Chupacabras, you killed all of my hens," were the
resigned and angry words of Ana Luisa Morales Inostroza, when
she discovered at 7 a.m. yesterday, as is her custom, the
macabre spectacle as she went to feed her farm animals. Seven
chickens in one of her two henhouses were dead, scattered all
over the dirt floor. Another small bird was agonizing. Pale and
almost dry, the dead birds had lost most of their plumage and
presented two-centimeter puncutre marks on their necks. The dry
flesh and the animal's interior could be seen through the
puncture, as though a strange object had been introduced into
the dead poultry's bodies to draw their blood.

Two dogs guard the home of Ana Luisa Morales and on an adjacent
property, two mastiffs reinforce the sector's safety. "The dogs
have never attacked the birds and when cats do it, they shred
the chickens and the hens alike. But my chickens are whole but
for the feathers and the hole in their bodies. These birds have
no blood, you can see it by how pale they are. There's no doubt
that it is the Chupacabras, whom they say was in Santiago but
has appeared in Las Cruces," mourned the woman, who claimed not
having heard noises nor the presence of strangers on the
property, something that is made even harder by the presence of
the watchdogs. "I believe it is the Chupacabras who came in at 4
in the morning, because at that time everything's asleep, even
the animals."

The news spread like wildfire in the community and numerous
residents visited Ana Luisa Morales to show solidarity and while
they were added, to take a look at the deceased poultry.

The economic losses were considerable, as well as the effort
taken to raise the poultry. Right next to the affected henhouse
there is another, but it has a metal structure on its roof,
which kept the attacker from continuing with its fatal assault
of the remaining birds, hens in this case.

From now on, Ana Luis Morales must redouble her efforts to
protect her remaining birds and scare off the mysterious
Chupacabras that prowls Las Cruces, according to the locals.
